    Surplus Military Atlas Copco QAS38 Generator Issues

    Got the generator running. The yellow/green cable is attached to the engine block at the moment, but I don't think it should be. That cable should go to "earth". When I let the generator run longer than about 30 seconds, the engine shuts down and the L4 indicator come on. That is an...

    Surplus Military Atlas Copco QAS38 Generator Issues

    Finally got back to working on this Atlas Copco generator. (Had some minor surgeries to deal with.) All of the documentation I have leads one to believe that the system is a 12V system. Nothing in the schematics indicate how the batteries are connected. Well today, I determined that the system...

    M1097R1 Won't Start

    Changed to an S3. Checked 4 glow plugs. All read in excess of 20 ohms. All 8 are currently loosened, but I need to retrieve my puller before proceeding. Thanks to all for the tips. Also, battery voltage is around 26V.

    M1097R1 Won't Start

    My bad. I was using old terminology. Box is of the "smart" generation. I will test plugs and try a different box. I, too, thought 15-20 seconds was too long.

    M1097R1 Won't Start

    M1097R1 with 6.5L engine won't start. I had it running a couple of months ago, but cooler weather seems to affect it. I say that because I only started having trouble starting this truck beginning in late November - early December. It has a new GPC, new glow plugs, and what appears to be a...

    Looking for TMs for the 31' Patrol Boat, River Mark 1. I'm wanting to power up the navigational lights on the boat on display in a local museum. Specifically need wiring schematics. Thanks for any tips.

    Repairing HMMWV Transmission Control Module

    I have a couple of new ones. I just hated to throw the bad one out, if there's someone out there who repairs them.

    Surplus Military Atlas Copco QAS38 Generator Issues

    I think I have one that I can make a scanned copy of. I'll check and let you know.

    Surplus Military Atlas Copco QAS38 Generator Issues

    Thanks again. I ask about the yellow/green cable because it wasn't connected to anything, and it's still not. I didn't just want to randomly "ground" it somewhere. There is a "Ground" lug (labeled as such) on the generator frame (not the trailer frame), but the cable is not long enough to...

    Surplus Military Atlas Copco QAS38 Generator Issues

    My responses in blue below (we're running out of colors) First question: Does the unit crank when it comes out of preheat? Nope, the process doesn't get past the glow plug pre-heat cycle. Answers: This is the only DIP Switch settings you should use as in Paragraph 2.7. Check - they were set...

    Surplus Military Atlas Copco QAS38 Generator Issues

    System is 12V. check check DIP Switches Dip switches set as indicated on page 11, paragraph 2.7, of the Instruction Manual. Are the dip switch settings indicated on page 11 only correct for when a remote start module is connected? If so, what would be the dip switch settings for "manual"...

    Surplus Military Atlas Copco QAS38 Generator Issues

    If my photos come through, they are the best I can do at this time. I don't have any photos of the inside and won't be able to get them soon. I'm grounded after foot surgery and have another surgery in 8 days.

    Surplus Military Atlas Copco QAS38 Generator Issues

    First off, I have a couple of manuals for this unit. One is the Service Manual for the engine. The other is the instruction manual for the generator. I have been unsuccessful in locating any TMs. We have a surplus military Atlas Copco QAS38 YdS TNV 33.3Kw generator. It does not start with...

    MEP 804A Won't Start

    Update: Removed the plunger caps. The plungers were a little sticky. Got them cleaned up. However, the main issue still appears to be that the rack is solidly stuck. I'm not confident that any amount of soaking is going to resolve the issue. I will leave the IP as-is for a couple of days...

    MEP 804A Won't Start

    Removed the cover (53) and the inner workings are clean as a whistle. Sprayed with brake cleaner and Kroil. Since those fluids will likely get further into the IP, I'll spray with oil, let that soak, then change the oil and filter after the unit runs a bit. Before resorting to pulling the...
